Putting his hands together. Yuriel clapped twice as treats and drinks were quickly served right infront of them on a table.

“Much better.“ Yuriel took a piece of biscuits on the tray and munch it happily.

Lev gazed intently at the silver-haired man infront of him as he waits for him to finish and not even daring to take anything on the table.

Seeing such intense gaze, yuriel inwardly sighed.

In the novel, Lev puts his family first more than anything. He'll willingly risked his own life just to protect his love ones and one of that example is him, being caught by slave-traders.

To be honest, the only thing yuriel loves about the story is the characters themselves. Aside from the heroine and the crown prince, all of their companions came from hardships before the two could even met them.

Eating the last piece of the biscuit. Yuriel sat straight, taking a deep breathe and exhaling. He then looked at lev with a serious expression yet calm.

“As i've said, you can't still go home. The reason for that is because we need you and your protection.“

“my protection?… What do you mean by that…”

Yuriel smiles instead and slowly stand up. Walking to the side, a huge chest suddenly appeared infront of him.

“If you may, can you hold every weapon in this chest and fill the stone with your aura?“

“…sure..”

Lev also stood up as he went to yuriel's direction. There, he saw many kinds of weapon like swords, daggers, spears, and more. All of them have different designs but the one who caught his attention are the powerful stones on each of the handles of the weapons.

'Amazing! He has many rare weapons that i haven't seen before… but…' Clenching his jaw, he turned to yuriel and bow.

“I'm sorry. I can't do that…. This weapons are too rare for me to put my aura i—”

“It's okay if you break them with your aura. I have tons of them just laying around.“ Yuriel boasted his exaggerating riches with an innocent smile while lev widen his eyes. How can someone this rich call themselves commoners?!

Wait.— Aside from that..

“How… do you know that—”

“No questions asked! I also want to prove something so just do it"

"..." Without any more questions. Lev did what yuriel asked him to do and took the weapons one by one. Letting his aura flow through, only to shatter all the weapons into pieces.

Lev let out a heavy sigh while yuriel was amazed on how a powerful weapon can just break into pieces.

“You're pretty strong. I never saw something like that before.”

“It's nothing special.”

"But that isn't nothing." Yuriel insisted.

Lev looked away. “…if i must tell you. It's really nothing special. I'm used to breaking things into pieces with my aura when i train… and it's the reason why I got weak.”

Hearing him speak those words made yuriel feel sympathetic towards him but smiled and asked a peculiar question instead.

"What about wielding a shield instead." Snapping his fingers, another huge chest appeared next to the other one.

Yuriel opened it and inside was a magnificent shield made out of the finest and strongest steels.

Lev was surprised by yuriel's suggestion as he haven't thought of wielding a shield once.

As a beastmen from the tiger tribe with a lion dna in his veins. He should be an attacker. A wielder of weapons.

Even in the novel, he also said the same thing many times and that is the reason why he died without even letting out his full potential.

But that will never happen, yuriel will make sure that he'll bring out that potential no matter what.

“What do you say?“ He asked again, making lev snap out of his thoughts and glanced at the shield infront of him.

Slow and careful, lev, picks up the huge shield. He then let his aura flow through the shield expecting it to also break like the other weapons.

But to his surprise, his aura flow through the shield effortlessly and with ease, not even breaking the shield as if his aura was meant to be used as a shield.

“What….“ Lev couldn't believe his eyes.

As time goes by, the shield felt heavier and heavier. But with every second he held the massive, thick shield in his hands, the weight seemed to lessen and eventually fade away like he was holding nothing.

Lev stared at himself in amazement, completely lost. The feeling of his power flowed through him. His eyes filled with wonderment when he realized he's now able to use a weapon without breaking it.

Seeing the beastmen's reaction. Yuriel chuckled and pat his shoulder, making lev look at his direction.

“Every person has his own role to play. If you can't be an attacker, how about being a defender who can protect his companions instead?" He grins and let go of lev's shoulder as he went back on his seat and eat the treats.

Lev looked back at the shield, clenching the handle. A smile then appeared on his face as he took the shield with him back to his seat.

Yuriel saw that the beastmen seems to have found the thing he should be wielding and spoke, "That's a shield meant to be used by aura users. If you want it, i don't mind giving it to you. You just need to give it a drop of your blood and it'll be yours permanently, you can even make it vanish and appear."

Lev did so and bite his finger. Droplets of blood flows as he let it drop on the shield itself.

The shield's stone glows as it finally stops, indicating that lev is its official owner.

Lev then tried to make it vanish which was quickly done in a blink of an eye then appeared again.

"Nicely done" Yuriel smiled at the beastmen which was replied with a smile on lev's face.

Letting it vanish again. Lev went back to the table but he didn't sit on his chair yet and instead, he bowed his head.

"Thank you for giving me this shield... sir yuriel."

Yuriel looked down at him with a soft expression "No need for such formalities, Lev."

Lev stood up and looks at the other who had a smile plastered on his lips.

"Thank you,..Yuriel..." He said and yuriel nodded his head.

"You're welcome. Let's talk more about something including the time you'll be going home."

With that, the two stayed inside the void for ten more minutes before they left and went to sleep.

————————————————————————————

“We'll leave later in the afternoon so buy everything you needed. The same goes for you, lev. Rio and Marco, go and find him some clothes that he could wear and after you guys are done, go back so i could put it in my personal space.“ Yuriel blabbers like a motherhen while the three just nod their heads like chickens.

“Can i take Neo?“ Marco asked with expected eyes. Yuriel then felt someone scratching his legs so he looked and saw neo looking at him with a pleading gaze.

Ofcourse, who is yuriel to even say no to such cute act?

“Fine. Shoo and go now” Yuriel said with his hands motioning them to go away which they did so with marco holding neo on the front while the two just followed him.

'There's just five of us including neo yet it feels already crowded. Should i get Uncle Jupiter's present now?' He thought as he remembered the floating island that was given to him by the God of Sky.

He looked around and saw how big the room they're staying at yet it feels so crowded.

“Yup. Let's get that floating island instead.“

With those thoughts with him. Yuriel also changed his hair color to hazel and went outside to have some relaxing time. He might even see something interesting which he willlll~
